SANITARY GARBAGE-RECEPTACLE.

. Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 2, 1915.

Application filed August 20, 1914. Serial No. 857,715.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, CHARLES H. BROWN and MARIE BROWN, citizens of the United ful Improvements in Sanitary Garbage-Receptacles; and we do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to refuse 'recep'-..., tacles, and one object of the same resides in, the production of a sanitary and antiseptic receptacle of the character designated, which will be comparatively free from the obnoxious odors usually associated with articles of this kind.

Another and further object of our invention is to provide a metal receptacle having a water proof inner member or liner adapted to be removed and. destroyed with the refuse.- A still further object resides in providing a novel cover having means to insure a tight fit on the part of said cover when the latter 1s properly positioned.

V With these and other objects inview, our

the flange.

I iron (the usual metal used on articles of this invention consists of certain novel details of constructlon arrangement and combination of parts to be more particularly pointed outand claimed.

In the accompanying drawings in which corresponding reference numbers indicate similar parts, Figure 1 is a side elevation of our improved refuse receptacle. Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is atop plan with cover re moved. I Fig. 4 is a bottom plan of the cover, lllustrating the particular arrangement of In its present exemplification, our invention contemplates a cylindrical metallic vessel 1, having the annular wall 2, and bottom 3. It is preferably formed of galvanized kind) and has the tapered configuration, clearly shown in Fig. 2. In this connection however, it is to be understood that. this 'receptacle 1 may be given any form best suit-.

ed for the occasion and may be formed of wood or other material.

At diametrically opposite points upon the exteriorof wall 2 contiguous to its upper edge, are formed the two hand grips 4 which receptacle to be conveniently vthelattera liner or auxiliary receiver 5,

formed of waterproof material, preferably paraflin paper, which is very inexpensive and permits the liners to be produced at a j very low cost. This liner 5, has an annular wall 6. and bottom 7, and is designed to snugly conform to the shape of receptacle 2 within which it is, when in position, placed so that its upper edge'registers with that of "the receptacle. v

By providing a removable liner as described, it will be seen that we secure an extremely sanitary receptacle, because whenever the liner is filled, it, together with the refuse, is removed and destroyed, another liner is thenplaced within the receptacle, and the latter is in condition to be refilled, without requiring any cleansing whatsoever.

' This it will be apparent saves much time, as in the ordinary refuse receptacle it is necessary towash and thoroughly cleanse the,

that are destroyed, but as they are not expensive, this may be done at a very low cost.

As a closure for the open end of receptacle 1. we provide a cover 8, formed with the downwardly and inwardly projecting flange 9, and hand grip. 10 as clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 2. When the cover 8 is in position the flange 9 thereon will by reason of its inward inclination, insure a good tight fit, yet will not contact with'the liner so as to interfere withthe proper positioning of the cover.

he lower edge of the flange 9 will not engage the liner when positioning the cover but the outer wall of said flange will engage and compress the upper edge of the liner when,so positioned to prevent any seepage between the liner and the receptacle while in use.

From the foregoing it will be seen that we 2 Although we have in the foregoing specification described certain elements as best adapted to perform the functions ascribed to them, nevertheless it will be understood that various minor changes in form, substance, etc., may be resorted to within the scope of the appended claim without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the principles of our invention.

Having now described our invention, What we claim is:

A receptacle of the class described including a gradually tapered tubular body, a

closure for the lower extremity thereof, a

water-proof liner relnovably disposed within said receptacle including an annular member closed at one end and having its outer surface conforming to the configuration of the inner surface of'said receptacle and adapted to snugly engage the entire area of the same when disposed therein, a cover for the open end of said body, and a downwardly and inwardly projecting flange on said cover adapted'to press the upper edge of the liner against that of said body when placed thereon whereby tight engagement between the two upper surfaces caused by the pressure of the inclined flange thereon will prevent any seepage between said liner and body while the receptacle is in use.

In testimony, whereof we have hereunto set our hands in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
